It's going to be amazing. Both series are good, but I'm going to definitely read ANGEL first. It's just been so consistently great. I'm a bit scared to read Buffy #18. I loved Buffy #16, but #17 was a disappointment. Not a bad issue, but about three steps down from the wonderful #16. Oh well. I'll enjoy them both. Just ANGEL moreso. :]

I just read #12. That writing was incredibly good. Still not satisfied with the art though. Gwen looks like a guy. And everybody's faces look kind of weird

Spoiler:I love how ghost Angel & Cordelia listens to Wesley and Gunn's conversation. I've missed Cordy!
I really doubt Angel's vision was real though. The entire series was about him trying to redeem himself. No way he's going to be evil in the apocalypse. Must be a Wolfram and Hart thing.
A few question: On the page after Illyria sees Cordelia the dragon (way funny btw) is Spike feeding off Gwen!?!?! What is attacking Connor?
